Kenya’s most iconic wildlife display, the Great Migration, is a must-see experience. Lasting from July to October, millions of wildebeest and zebras navigate the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem, crossing the Mara River in an extraordinary display of survival. 

Witnessing this natural spectacle is a breathtaking experience, and the Governors' Camp is the ideal place to stay for a perfect vantage point from the comfort of your accommodation.

Kenya experiences two dry seasons: June to October and January to February. These periods offer mild temperatures, clear skies, and prime wildlife viewing. The dry conditions make animals flock to water sources which ensures rewarding game drives and a comfortable climate for exploring the national parks. These times of year are often considered to be the best time to visit Kenya. 

The ‘green season’, occurring from March to May and from November to December, brings abundant rainfall, turning the landscapes lush, vibrant and green. While the increased foliage might make wildlife a little harder to spot, the lush surroundings are a treat for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers, so can be a good time to visit Kenya.

For those looking for a quieter safari experience and lower accommodation rates, the shoulder seasons of April, May or November can be a good time to visit Kenya. While there may be sporadic rain showers, the benefits of fewer tourists and more budget-friendly hotel and lodge options can outweigh the minor inconvenience.

Kenya’s diverse cultures and traditions are celebrated through its various colourful festivals and events. Plan your visit to coincide with festivals like the Lamu Cultural Festival in November, the Maasai Mara Music Festival, or the Mombasa Carnival to immerse yourself in Kenya's wonderfully vibrant local culture.
